A poignant, funny debut that succeeds in being both down to earth and sweepingly romantic. Perfect for fans of John Green, Rainbow Rowell and Stephen Chbosky's The Perks of Being a Wallflower
Growing up is just as much about finding your own feet as it is about finding love, and Collins imbues the scenes between Liam and Emerald and their families with a tenderness that is just as touching as those between the two main characters.This is a love letter to a technological generation. It has heart, it asks hard questions, and it explores what it means to be in love at a time when imperfections can be easily airbrushed out of our lives.
No Filter is a heartwarming, touching YA novel that you should definitely give a go- even if you are, like me, out of your teens.
